Lawyers say Christa Pike, a death row inmate in the United States, is conscious after a failed execution attempt. Pike, the only woman on Tennessee's death row, was convicted of a 1995 murder. The claim that she survived the procedure is drawing scrutiny to how the execution was carried out and renewed attention to the methods used in US capital punishment.
Why now: A reported failed execution of a death row inmate is a rare and shocking development that raises questions about US capital punishment.
